[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So what I have heard most of the clubs are looking at a 20- 30% decrease in returning players. Reach out to the clubs [/quote]

That's what I heard too, yet not one kid on my son's team got an offer to move up to the next level team.  I guess maybe they plan to fill from the outside, and then reach out to current players to move up if that doesn't work.[/quote]

There is usually a reason why they are on the 2nd team. Its not because of numbers its more because of talent. I coached at 2 different clubs for over 13 years. The truth is that the 2nd team is a money maker and not looked at too serious for development.[/quote]

Yikes. Well, this explains why several area clubs get a bad rap for focusing solely on the top team. The top team coach simply doesn’t care about the other teams in the age group as the are just revenue makers/money grabs. This candor is hard for 2nd, 3rd, 4th team parents to hear.[/quote]

Look at Arlington at the u littles. They have one coach for 2 teams and they practice together. The second team is lucky if the coach talks to them once every month. Truth be total the coach only works with top 4 players at practice. The rest of the first team and the second team are just paying for the privilege to be ignored.[/quote]

Does not reflect well on that coach when the [b]Arlington White team develops better than their Red team[/b].  Less can be more if the coaches are weak.  [/quote]

I've seen that at Arlington too.  The Red team often has better athletic kids (not talking size), but many refuse to pass and think they can out dribble everyone on the opposing team. It is very frustrating to watch. The White team has great players as well, but are much more willing to play as a team since they are not so individualistic.[/quote]

+1 great statement and I believe this happens because the coach(s) allows it happens. I wonder how coaches are evaluated by club directives.  For instance  among other factors would a coach be evaluated also on how many DC stay with the team for next season, what’d happen when a coach is not able to retain a pool of players due these kind of frustrations?.[/quote]
